And now for a random photo. The girls were laughing uproariously in the basement. They ran upstairs and called, “Mom! MOM!” More running, some panting. “We managed to make a Barbie look almost like a real person!” They presented me with a very normal-looking Barbie.

“Look!” M exclaimed. “You could totally see someone wear something like this in real life!”

“Yeah!” J gushed. “She’s so casual! Don’t you love it!?!”

M: “She looks great, except that her boobs are still too big and her feet are teensy, teensy.”

J: “But at least she’s not wearing those skinny heels. Do you think that we could find those–what are they called? Loafers?”
